So, will these be immediately available, or will there be a wait as K-USA ramps up production?

Approx 1200.00 on the Kalashnikov USA KR 9 Rifle and the same price for the KP 9 base pistol.

Ready to go for California? Pinned stock and fin grip included?

These showed up yesterday. Rifle is shipping to the FFL soon.

[beanz2]

Dang, toiletfighter! I thought you were posting you got one already!

I have the feeling K-USA will have plenty of these in a few month and I can wait for the prices to settle down a bit. I still feel the sting of being one of the first AK-V owners (mine is being sent back) and I should be early in line for the Volk's V-9.

[toiletfighter]

I wish! The mags are a tease. Hopefully my FFL will have it sometime next week and I can start paperwork next weekend.

Definitely agree on being able to wait on this without missing out in owning one. If they sell well and turn out to be a solid, reliable gun, they’ll make a ton. Price will go down as well. Whats the V-9 ETA?

Curtis was saying mid March, but I'm not holding my breath. Plenty of new stuff to chew through.

I'm afraid his new projects might delay the V9. We'll see.

[1919_4_ME]

One guy already got his and put 500rds through it and says it eats everything. Looks like a winner so far.

The price is darn close to the SIG MPX, which is a lot for a straight blowback made in Russia. I would think it needs to be a couple three hundred bucks cheaper at least.

Internal parts availability?
For future repairs.

as far as i know it is a usa made gun. there is no mention of 922r parts in the owners manual for the rifle.

[sigstroker]

Doesn't it say where it's made on the gun?

I'm gonna eat my own words, LOL. Impact Guns had 7 in stock today and I had to sweep in.

The hard part is I'm going to be out of town for a while and won't see it for a few weeks If I were home, I'd get it Form 1'ed faster than Ocasio Cortez can spend your tax money.

[waygeekierthanu]

I'm getting 3 in next week! Who wants to come check em out in person?

[vino68]

Can you please post pics of what the CA featureless version looks like?

Not my rifle, but pretty much like this. I’ll snap a few pics when I pick it up Saturday.

Folder is made non operable, add a fin to the grip and that’s it. Muzzle device is a brake, so it’s GTG.

Thank you. The visual is helpful in deciding acquisition.

[1919_4_ME]

Looks like a retaining pin is walking itself out.

Interesting. I’m planning on picking my carbine up tomorrow and shooting it Sunday.

I also saw this on AKOU the other day...

Attachment 787201

Cracked dustcovers as well.

[SBRS]

Kusa said the dust covers have been fixed. We shall see.

^^^ My plan is to put 500rds of 124gr MEN and Winchester NATO through it first thing. If the rifle has any issues, hopefully they’ll show themselves early.

[SBRS]

Keep us posted. There's a bit of info posted about the kr9 over on the files too. I might run into ya' tomorrow, are you picking it up from 2a?

Will do. I have the DA AKX-9 as well, so I’ll get to do a side by side comparison.

Not from 2A, I’m up north NE of Sacramento.

I forgot if I asked you this, but will you be selling the factory stocks?

Form 1 e-filed and the clock has started ticking...

[audiophil2]

Got a small shipment today. All pre-sold heading to forever homes.

Will the handguard interchange with a regular AK one? How about the pistol grip?

Handguard, no. Pistol grip, yes. I just spent some time trying to swap furniture on mine. I tried a few polymer, a couple wood 74 handguards and a ZenitCo B10m, none do.

You’d have to do some extensive fitting to swap the lower handguard out with any standard AKM/74 type handguard. The Vityaz has a a different trunnion than an AKM or 74, leaving a shallower pocket to insert the HG into the receiver.

Top pic is the rear of a KUSA KR-9 HG. Notice the profile of the rear end where it fits into the receiver. Shallower by at least 1/4”. Second pic is of a ZenitCo B21m for the Vityaz, last is for a ZenitCo B10m that is for stamped AKM/74 type rifles. Gives you an idea of the difference.

I plan on ordering one of the ZenitCo handguards, or maybe save my pennies for a real Russian railed AK9 set.

[toiletfighter]

Picked up my KR-9 that I bought via audiophil on Saturday. I plan on getting out Friday to put it through its paces.

Several more people reporting cracked dust covers in a thread on AKFiles, but only on pistols from what I’ve seen. Also, the firing pin retaining pin has apparently walked out of the BCG on a few guns, like in the video above.

Fingers crossed.

First thoughts were for the CZ, now this looks really cool as well. Hmm...

K-USA KP-9 on the top
Palmetto's AK-V on the bottom

Curious intersecting paths at the LGS today. The AK-V is going back to PSA for it's needed "updates" and the KP-9 is going to a well known vendor here for a secret project.

The KP-9 feels smoother. Couldn't compare the weight as one had an SBA brace and adapter, the other didn't.
